New funding for SMEs

If your company is an SME and is based in the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, parts of the East Midlands or the East of England you can benefit from free advice and support via the Manufacturing Growth Programme. Grants could be used to help develop products or equipment that benefit the long term aims of your business.

The programme can:

Identify opportunities and create plans for growth and improvement

Work with the best external experts to implement these plans

Cover up to 35% of the cost of implementing the plans through an improvement grant

Connect to wider support to maximise opportunities for growth

A number of services are provided including funding for developing new products and intellectual property. Further information can be found from: http://www.manufacturinggrowthprogramme.co.uk/about-the-programme/
